Gun Control and the numbers...
This is several years old and the stats for Australia have skyrocketed since, but it's still a good read:
Gun Control History
INTRODUCTION:
The founding fathers of the United States had a good reason for including the right to bear arms in our Constitution. It was not to shoot game animals. Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws affect only the law-abiding citizens.
We don't see the facts below in news or hear our leaders disseminating this information.
20TH CENTURY GUN CONTROL:
1911: Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated .
1929: The Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated .
1935: China established gun control. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated .< BR>
1938: Germany established gun control. From 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated .
1956: Cambodia established gun control. From 1975 to 1977, one million educated people , unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
1964: Guatemala established gun control. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated ..
1970: Uganda established gun control. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated .
In the 20th Century, because of gun control, 56 million DEFENSELESS PEOPLE were rounded up and exterminated.
This is a very low, conservative estimate. Professor R. J. Rummel says it's closer to 262 MILLION. Rummel further states, "Just to give perspective on this incredib le murder by governments, if all these bodies were laid head to toe, with the average height being 5', then they would circle the earth ten times. Also, this democide murdered 6 times more people than died in combat in all the foreign and internal wars of the century. Finally, given popular estimates of the dead in a major nuclear war, this total democide is as though such a war did occur, but with its dead spread over a century."
MORE CURRENT HISTORY:
It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by a new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms for destruction by their government. This program cost Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars. The first year's results are now in:
Australia-wide, homicides with firearms are up 3.2 percent.
Australia-wide, assaults with firearms are up 8.6 percent.
Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)!
I n the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent.
Note: while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not, and criminals still possess their guns!
While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed. There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the ELDERLY.
After a monumental effort and cost was expended in ridding the Australian Society of personal fire arms, Australian politicians are at a loss to explain why public safety has decreased. The Australian experience and the other historical facts above prove it.
CONCLUSION:
You won't see this data on the American evening news or hear our president, governors or other politicians disseminating this information. Guns in the hand s of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws affect only the law-abiding citizens.
Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late!
The next time someone talks in support of gun control, please remind them of this history lesson.
With guns, we are citizens. Without them, we are just subjects.
If you value your freedom then please spread this Gun Control Information message to all of your friends.
The founding fathers of our Nation had a good reason for including the right to bear arms in our Constitution, and that reason was not to shoot game animals.
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." -- John Stuart Mill - from On Liber ty circa 1859
